Visionary filmmaker Sandeep Singh, celebrated for his bold storytelling, has officially acquired the rights to the cult classic Chandni Bar and announced a reimagined sequel under his banner, Legend Studios. The announcement came on the special occasion of Singh’s birthday, coinciding with the film’s 24th anniversary. The sequel, titled Chandni Bar 2, will be directed by Ajay Bahl, known for films like Section 375 and BA Pass, and is slated for release on December 3, 2026 — marking 25 years of the original.
Madhur Bhandarkar’s Chandni Bar (2001), starring Tabu and Atul Kulkarni, was a groundbreaking film that exposed Mumbai’s dark underbelly with raw honesty. Winning multiple National Awards, it remains etched in cinema history for Tabu’s stellar performance and its fearless storytelling.
